"What? Pregnant?" asked Louis.Louis' eyes widened, rounding wide with a pounding heart. As a woman, she knew very well how it felt when someone was reportedly pregnant.In contrast to Louis' response, Richard smiled and then laughed loudly, as if the middle-aged man had expected this to happen. The different responses shown by the two persons were confusing for Dylan and Maya.Dylan glanced at Maya, the woman who was lying down seemed to shrug her shoulders; completely unable to understand the responses Louis and Richard were showing."But aren't you married?" asked Louis, looking at Dylan.Dylan nodded. The man invited Richard and Louis to talk about it on the couch away from Maya, Dylan didn't want the conversation to dist

***Three days later.The female doctor who had treated Maya came back. That morning, she arrived with two nurses; one of whom was seen pushing a metal push table with medicines on it."How are you feeling today, Miss Maya?" the female doctor asked, smiling in greeting with both hands behind her back.Maya nodded, then smiled broadly in return to the friendliness shown by her doctor, "I'm fine."The doctor immediately checked several things on Maya's body, ranging from eyes, heart rate through a stethoscope, to blood pressure. Maya always complied with what the doctor told her, taking medicine regularly and maintaining a good nutrition. As a result of her compliance, she rec

The door to Dylan's office was gently knocked, and he promptly instructed the person outside to come in. The servant nodded obediently, opened the door to Dylan's office, and saw his boss sitting on the sofa, accompanied by Maya and his two guests. The servant's visit to Dylan's office was not without reason. He came with the purpose of bringing the wine as per Dylan's request—the finest wine always available in the house."Do you know Nathan?" Dylan asked Helen.Helen shook her head; she wasn't familiar with the man named Nathan mentioned by Dylan. Dylan smiled, nodding."He's a business associate of mine, as Alfred also acknowledges. Do you remember when I explained the three unwritten agreements among the three families of entrepreneurs?" Dylan asked."Oh, so Nathan is one of them, right?" Helen asked.Dylan cleared his throat, maintaining eye contact with Helen while glancing occasionally at his assistant seated beside her.Unlike Maya, who sat on the long sofa opposite Helen, M

"I see, huh? When exactly are you going to see Robert?" asked Nathan, staring ahead where Dylan was still standing next to Helen.Dylan held his hands up to his chest, his eyes looking at the fancy watch he always wore. It was 11am, making it impossible for Dylan to go to the Monarch."They're probably on their lunch break. If Helen doesn't mind, we can go after the break," Dylan replied.Helen nodded. After all, it was no problem for her to go with Dylan. There was nothing else for her to do today, nor was Helen's curiosity about the process of selling the shares in Monarch.Out of curiosity, Helen decided to go with Dylan. Helen's assistant had no objection to Helen's wish."After Rockefeller sold their shares to Sullivan,

"What? You want to acquire Monarch from me?" Robert asked.Robert's voice was raised at that moment, his serious face looking straight ahead at Dylan. The man didn't expect Dylan to propose something like that."Do you know what is required in a company acquisition?" Robert asked.Before Dylan proposed the acquisition, he had learned a lot about the requirements to offer the acquisition.He had just acquired a large stake from two prominent business families in the country; there were several files that Dylan needed to prepare to apply for the acquisition of Monarch."Did you think I didn't know about it? I knew it long ago, right before I bought the shares from Lawrence and Rockefeller," Dylan revealed.
